So I blogged 2 times today so you'll have to scroll down and see the other one cause it's too funny

( well at least I think).
I have figured out a way to make my pictures bigger so I thought I would share one I took with my new lens. It looks like Ethan is making a wish, maybe a Christrmas wish?!

Cousins

Lukey: was about 17mths & Ethan: is about 9mths

I think they have definite similarities :)

Do you?


This reminds me of one of my old favorite TV shows. I used to watch this with my Grandma Rose.
I love the theme song! Too funny. Although they're not girls it still is cute.

Sneak Peak

So here is a sneak peak of our Christmas Card.. I had to share.

Texture and Fun!

In my photo editing class I have learned how to use texture properly!!!

I know I've posted this one already ,but I just added some texture to the background and now I love it even more!!!


Just for fun!!
I had to photograph these cute little socks. They look like big boy shoes!

Nelson Fam.

These are just a few pictures from the bonfire at Scott & Shan's and some from the day of Grandpa's funeral. Barb & Drew
Grandma Jane & Ethan

Grandpa Nelson's sister Ellie with Drew and Ethan. This would be Ethan's Great Great Auntie :)

Rylie and Ryland eating S'mores

I love his new mohawk hat!

I heart this photo!

Bonfire night at Scott & Shan's.This was a remembrance get together for Grandpa.

Barb, Jane, Bruce, Bob and Dean!

Scott & Shan had all sorts of fancy wine that night . I must admit I think I had a glass too much. I blame Scott for making me" try all the different flavors"...peer pressure I tell ya.

Makani

Ryland again.

Sue & Ethan

Life Behind Bars.

The way his eyes are looking right through the gate makes him look like he has a superhero mask on !

I love these little legs.


Uh-oh, Ethan got pantsed! :)

Silly boy.

He loves playing in this! Usually we will open up one of the gates and sit there with him.

Hi mommy!

Hi Ethan!

Ethan is now pulling himself up/standing and crawling, now more than ever he has to be kept contained :) So behind the "bars of justice" as Drew calls it is where Ethan plays. I love how he stands on his tippy toes to see over the bars..so cute!
